---------WALKTHROUGH---------
\_______________________/
Station Square
After the cut-scene is over you will be in Station Square,
go to the sewer behind the Twinkle Park elevator and get
your first rod upgrade. Now go to the other part of the city
and you will see froggy go under the car to the sewer. Move
the car and drop down. Get to the elevator, when up follow the
path to your first stage, Twinkle Park.
Twinkle Park
This stage is vary easy, there is only one place where Froggy
may be, it's in the park's pool. In no time you will catch
him in this small pool.
Station Square
After you're done and the cut-scene is over get the ice key
behind the Twinkle Park elevator and go to the train station
and take the rain to the Mystic Ruins.
Mystic Ruins
Get off the station and go to the first cave. Go and let the wind
carry you. Now go to the ice door and use the ice key. After that
go inside and get the Life Belt. Now go up the ladder to your second
stage.
IceCap
At the start pick up the rock and throw it on the ice to break it.
Now fish until you get Froggy.
Mystic Ruins
You must go back to Station Square, but it's time to get the rod
upgrades in the jungle. Get them (see UPGRADES for locations).
Now go to the train station and get back to Station Square.
Station Square
Go to the hotel and to the beech. Go to Emerald Coast.
Emerald Coast
As you start kill all the enemies and follow the path on the left
to the end, Froggy should be swimming somewhere on the right.
Float on the water if you need to get closer.
Emerald Coast
After you catch him a cut-scene will show that Gamma will steal
Froggy and run, you will follow him to the Egg Carrier.
Egg Carrier
As soon as the cut-scene ends you will see three doors, first go
through the door on the right, now go through the other door. In
the first prison cell you will see the rod upgrade, to get it
push the switch and the cell will open, now get back and go
through the middle door into your next stage, the Hot Shelter.
Hot Shelter
As you get off the elevator follow the path to the door, go
through. Again follow the long path to the door. In this room
go to the centre and push the switch. The room will be full of
water. See that tunnel on the left? Swim to it and go through it,
now swim up and go through the tunnel. In this room get on the
metal container. You must pull the water plug by aiming your cursor
on the plug in the middle of the room. Aim carefully and you will
do it. After you're done the water will go down; now get back through
the tunnels to the room. Now Froggy will be swimming around. Fined
him and catch him.
Hot Shelter
After you end the stage Tikal light will transfer you to the past
of Angel Island.
Angel Island
Go forward and you will see Tikal, after a short cut-scene you
will be back in the Egg Carrier.
Egg Carrier
Use the monorail to get up. Now make your way to the upper part
of the ship and go to where Chaos is.
Chaos Fight
Get Froggy out of chaos by aiming at the red target by him, that's it.
Egg Carrier
Jump on Tails plane. You're done.

up release A.
Lure power-ups:
1. In city's sewer behind the Twinkle Park elevator.
2. Go down from the ladder to the jungle and turn right,
keep going until you come to a man that says he left
his wife in Station Square and he miss her, from him

---------BIG EMBLEMS---------
\_______________________/
You can get up to 18 emblems when playing as Big,
here are all the types that will get you the emblems:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Stages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every stage got 3 missions, etch one gets you an emblem.
3 in total in every stage total.
First Mission:
Catch Frogy!
2nd Mission:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Station Square Emblems:
-Burger Shop
Mystic Ruins Emblems:
-On the way to big house
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Sub Games
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only sub game you can play as big is the Twinkle Circuit.
First Emblem:
Finish the race
2nd Emblem:
Finish the race in first place (10.00.00).
Here is my strategy on haw to beat this sub game:
From the start step on the middle arrows to get a speed boost, but try to
stay in the middle to get some coins. Now the road will be turning to the
left, take the left side and get 5 coins. Now its turning to the right,
stay in the middle and get another set of coins.
Next it will turn to the left, to the right, and finally straight. There will
be 7 rings and a sharp turn to the left. Just before the turn let go of the
accelerate button and press it again with the left direction the same time.
If you did it right you can even get 10 coins that is located on the left
side. After a short turn to the right the road will go down and break with
a speed arrows at the end of it, stay in the middle and you will hop up than
get to ether left or right side and for the last jump stay in the middle again.
A short turn to the right than left and right again. Now there should be
a sharp turn to the right, again just before the turn let go of accelerate
button and press it again with the right direction the same time. Finally
hop down and race to the finish line get the left or right coins on the way.
Repeat this strategy with other 2 laps and your out of there with an emblem.

4. Ending

Finish the game playing as Big the Cat!
